I have an XML feed. It loads fine into my control. The HTML href values are there, but with Flash Player 9, the links will not open when clicked on. I am wondering if I can use getURL somehow, along with the HTML, to make the links open. The SWF and my ASP file that parses the XML are in the same domain, but I am embedding the SWF on a different domain.

Launching the link is my only issue. The XML is there, and all the data associated with each item. I’m only using \<title\> and \<link\> for each item in the XML feed. Right-clicking on the link and choosing “copy link” reveals that the href value is correct.

I am happy to launch the link in a new window, but would prefer “\_self.”

This is being used on MySpace and I can’t change the allowscriptaccess parameter from “never.” I also cannot have any \<param\> or \<object\> tags.

So, the solution should probably deal with the SWF and how I launch the link.

It was working fine until I installed Flash Player 9, and I know they changed the security around with domains, etc., in this new version.

Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.
